At FDR-IRRMI, waste is not just garbage – it’s a resource for agriculture and power. The facility operates a mechanical sorting and recovery line for recyclables, refuse-derived fuel production from non-recyclable waste, renewable energy from its dry anaerobic digestion biogas power plant, and compost production.
Since its establishment, FDR-IRRMI has processed over 400,000 tons of mixed solid waste from partner local government units and private clientele. It has produced over 150,000 tons of alternative fuel derived from plastic and other combustible waste that have partially replaced fossil fuel use in factories.
